Cantina Alice Bel Colle Brachetto D'Acqui

Brachetto is a black-skinned Italian wine grape variety responsible for sweet, frothy Brachetto d’Acqui from Piedmont. Since its elevation to DOCG status in 1996, Brachetto d’Acqui has almost always produced its wines either frizzante (fizzy) or spumante (sparkling), with a noticeable level of sweetness.

Despite being a light-bodied, low-alcohol (typically around 5 percent) wine, Brachetto is highly aromatic. Red and black raspberries, wild strawberries and rose petals are terms frequently used to describe the profound scent. The wine is best consumed in its youth, and is typically served slightly chilled, often with fresh fruit.
